Jeremiah Weed Reappears on the Scene; Blasts Evan Williams Bourbon
for Playing Politics in Presidential Primary Election
Mr. Jeremiah Weed Launches Websites and Announces New Kentucky
Primary election poll at JeremiahWeedBourbon.com
WEED, Ky. (Business Wire EON) May 12, 2008 --
“The Legend”
Jeremiah Weed, the patron father of Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur, has
reappeared on the scene in order to re-introduce himself to Jeremiah
Weed Bourbon Liqueur drinkers and to announce the launching of JeremiahWeedBourbon.com
and his own blog, Mr.
Jeremiah Weed Speaks. In his first public statement, which was
released through his blog, Mr. Weed blasted Evan Williams for “playing
politics” when the company sent bottles of
Evan Williams bourbon to Democratic Presidential Candidates Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton ahead of the upcoming Kentucky Presidential primary
election.
“Evan Williams bourbon is clearly distraught
over the fact that in Indiana, Senator Clinton chose to sip a whiskey
that was not Evan Williams bourbon,” stated
Mr. Weed. “This obviously caused Evan Williams
to resort to political ploys to try to win the favor of Senators Obama
and Clinton when they visit Kentucky, and in turn, unfairly influence
the fine citizens there. In an electoral season full of strife and
controversy, it is important for someone to speak out for the people,
and as the patron father of “The People’s
Bourbon,” I am confident that the people will
ultimately settle this by seeing past the gimmicks of Evan Williams and
declare Jeremiah Weed Kentucky’s true bourbon
drink of choice.”
In the early 1980s, Mr. Weed received some level of notoriety when his
name was given to the new bourbon liqueur, borne of long tradition from
the hills of eastern Kentucky and East Tennessee. It is from this
ancestry that Jeremiah Weed, the man, and Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur,
trace their roots. Today, Jeremiah Weed Bourbon is a favorite drink of
horseback, hunting and fishing enthusiasts in Kentucky and elsewhere and
is a fixture around U.S. military airbases. Due largely to these loyal
constituencies the unique bourbon liqueur enjoys, Jeremiah Weed Bourbon
Liqueur has long been considered “The People’s
Bourbon.” This fact prompted Mr. Weed to take
issue with the actions of Evan Williams, which Mr. Weed says “undermines
the electoral process.”
In response, Mr. Weed announced a new “primary”
election in the form of a poll on JeremiahWeedBourbon.com,
which asks individuals to vote on what bourbon the Presidential
candidates should sip when they arrive in Kentucky. “By
taking this issue directly to the people, we can move past political
ploys and settle this issue in a democratic fashion. We can only hope
Evan Williams doesn’t send bottles to Super
Delegates in order to try to unfairly affect this critical electoral
process further.”
People can voice their opinion by voting on the Jeremiah Weed website at www.JeremiahWeedBourbon.com.
